  • Hi, If you like the Aldi version "Austins", I would go and stock up!

    I was in my local Aldi yesterday and couldnt find any and was told that it has been discontinued! Boo!!

    Am gutted, at £5 a bottle it was a bargain!

    Out of interest, how long would people think is ok for this to keep for before it goes off? The bottles say ideally drink within 3 months of purchase. What if a bottle hasn't been opened yet? How long would you keep your unopened bottles for ?
